Defensive stance is an ability that 1919 equipped units can use that gives them bonus's akin to yellow cover as well as gaining the ability to suppress enemy units. It has an extremely short cool down and can be toggled on and off at will.
PPsh's and G43's have poor accuracy on the move to. LMG blobs are far more dangerous on a majority of maps because you can close into CQC with them, all you can do is spam harder.
It's not like you want to fire on the move anyway, just walk up to the enemy lines turn on defensive stance and there you go.
Jesus, 'PPsh's and G43's have poor accuracy on the move to. LMG blobs are far more dangerous on a majority of maps because you can close into CQC with them.' ARE YOU INSANE? |
The issue with LMG's is that there is no down side. When you have lots of PPsh's you can't do much at long range, that's a disadvantage, when you have lots of Shreks and Zooks you will be lacking for Anti infantry.
With LMG's you have superb long range DPS, and most of the units that can get LMG's have good short range DPS to. And on many maps there is so little cover you can't get into short range of the LMG units anyway.
This doesn't even touch on how broken and overpowered defensive stance is considering everyone uses it offensively
Are you saying you have seen blobs doing 'defensive stances'? |
He didn't say they could fire on the move, you have misinterpreted him. He was replying to your denial of his statement about "LMG cancer".
So his statement "Have you seen 1919s on paras and riflemen" doesn't mean "they can shoot on the move" it means "they are (in his opinion) a real pain and spoil gameplay".
I hope I cleared that up. I think you're probably auto-disagreeing with what he says. I'm not saying he's right but if you want to have a constructive discussion with him, you'll have to at least understand and take on what he writes before writing "you're wrong".
He was responding to me about firing LMGs on the move |
Have you seen 1919's on Para's and Riflemen?
Riflemen can't fire 1919s on the move and Paras have like 20-25% accuracy. So they have to stop. A blob is more dangerous if they have ppshs, G 43s, etc |
I would be happy if every LMG was removed from the game. LMG spam meta is one of the reasons blobbing is so common and extending that to the USSR would just spread the cancer.
SvT's, PPsH43's, ect. There are tons of upgrades you could give to Conscripts and other Soviet squads without spreading LMG cancer meta.
You do know that you need to stop to use LMGs properly. Except Obers, that's why they were such a pain last patch. So I don't think LMGs is that much of a 'cancer' |

Hmmmmmm.... if you are so hyped about this patch, then I fear for balance. If you contributed with your opinions to this patch balance and they were listened, then I fear for balance even more. God help us.
Don't worry, I didn't expect him to like this patch. So I think you will like it

Don't worry the KV-2 is being made non-doctrinal and can be built from the HQ just like the OKW KT.
Indeed indeed, don't tell anyone |
Well, that won't happen and that tank won't be needed anyway.
I was in the alpha too and i know a new tank aint happening. But I am saying |
This. I was in the Alpha and I played the new faction like 2 times. I spent all my alpha time playing the older factions; The changes they've introduced are great, and I can't wait for them to be integrated with the main version. I don't even want to touch the old COH2 until it's patched.
Yeah? But nothing ain't gonna be fixed until we get a decent non - doc tank for the Soviets |
